Loading the FRITZ!Powerline factory settings

Load the factory settings to delete all of the individual settings you have made in your FRITZ!Powerline device. This makes sense if you are going to use the FRITZ!Powerline device at a different location or are planning to pass it on to another user, for example.

You can either use a button or the FRITZ!Powerline software to load the factory settings.

1 Loading the factory settings by button

Plug the FRITZ!Powerline device into an outlet and wait until the Power LED or WLAN LED remains lit or the Connect LED flashes slowly.

Push the corresponding button on the device:

Model	Button	Duration
FRITZ!Powerline 1260(E) / 1240 AX	Connect	15 seconds
FRITZ!Powerline 1220 / 1210	Connect	10-15 seconds
FRITZ!Powerline 1240E	WLAN - WPS Powerline - Security	15 seconds
FRITZ!Powerline 1220E / 1000E	Powerline · Security	10-15 seconds
FRITZ!Powerline 546E / 540E	WLAN · WPS und Powerline · Security	10 seconds
FRITZ!Powerline 530E / 510E	Security	12 seconds
FRITZ!Powerline 520E / 500E	Reset	2 seconds

During this process, all of the LEDs flash once. The Power LED or WLAN LED remains lit or the Connect LED flashes slowly as soon as the factory settings have finished loading.

2 Loading the factory settings with the FRITZ!Powerline software

Start the FRITZ!Powerline software.
Double-click the symbol of the FRITZ!Powerline device for which you want to load the factory settings.
Click the "Reset" button and then "OK" in the "Device Profile" window.
